I urn yours, ri-siicotfully, J.WlEd CLARKE, President of the Canal Commissioners. To W. Pattkhsov. Esq., Speaker of the House of Representatives; In oheilience to four resolutions which wcro passed hy the House of Representatives, 011 Iho Otis, 10th, anil 11th of December, instant, "requesting tho Cannl Commissioners to report to the lloii.e, their opinion ns to the ailviiiitaoa the Slate would ilerivo from tho extension of the Pennsylvania Cum ill to its urigiiinl contemplated termination, nini connection with Lako Erie, lit the buy of I'resqne Isle." Anil "ami as tu the advantages this State wnnlil ilerive from a connection of the Penns) Iviiniu, anil Ohio Casials, by a cross-cut from Akron, on lho Ohio Cunal, along the valley of the Mahoning, to the Pennsylvania Canal." Ami also, "of the advantages to be derived Jsy this State, nnd the expediency of adopting speedy measures to connect the Pennsylvania Canal, at or near Pittd.nrj;, with the Slate improvements on the Denver division) together with their views of the impor. Juut bearing which this connection holds, in reference to a junction, (under exisliiiir provisions,) with the Ohio Canal, nuil with the extension of the Pennsylvania Canal, An the town of Erie." Anil likewise, "of the expediency anil necesity of constructing n navigable feeder for the Penn.ylvania Canal, from tho Allegheny river, above the mouth of the Kiskimiiiettis." Thu Canal Commissioners respectful! submit the fol lowing Itepnrt. A Jfaeigabll Feeder from the Allegheny river, to intersect the Penn.ylvania Canal at the north-west end of the iitpicduct near the mouth nf the Kiskemiiietas, would he 11 valuable improvement for the following reasons : 1st, Tho Cannl has now to be fed with wnter from thu Leaehhtirg ilum, in the his kiiuiuetas, (which dam is 23 feet liiuli, above Jnw water umrk,) to Pittsburg; being about 36 miles in ilistauoe, including tlio two brunches into the Allegheny nnd JJouiin rnhala rivers. In tho mouths of August anil September last, the Ki.kciiiineliis rivi r become so low thnt, for a few wueks, a full head of wiler could not be maintained in the Canal. What has happened may ngaiu take place during a .very dry season; and that,, ton, at a time when an immense in crease of Irailo will rs'quiren corresponding increaso of lockune-wiiter. t feeder from the Allegheny river, would lint only release tlie riiiKcuiinetiis irom sup-jllying 3s mil1- of Cannl below tbejunc-,lioii, but in ease of much leakage through 4he high dam at Leachburg, it would assist ,the navigation on thu same level, for 1-' miles above the junction, deuce, for this . reason alone, such n feeder is very desirable.. 3d, Such a feeder would be n guarantee against any very serious interruption of the trade on the main line, in the event nl the failure of tho great aqueduct over the Allegheny river, at the mouth of the Kisko-(ninetus. But, without the feeder, n breach of that aqueduct would render the 73 miles cf Canal below Ulnirsville, wholly useless for the great Western Colssssserce. 3d, The feeder would he from 13 to 1C miles long, depending upon thu site chosen for a dans ill the Allegheny river, and in either ease would, with the pool uf lho dam, give un artificial navigation of about 3D dies. This improvement would nccouisno- ilnte some valuable Salt Work", nnd unite Kittuiiing, tho county town of. Armstrong county, and the surrounding country, moru elosely with the Pennsylvania Canal j nnd it would ulso be n link in thu chain of fu ture improvements for connecting tho main line of Cuual Willi tlio freiicu vreea usyis. ion. 4th, Should the Canal be continued from .the preseut teriqiuuliou of the Western sis- visioss, in Alleglsenytown, to oi cct wills ,tlse Ueuver division, this feeder will bo indispensable. A survc was inadu by .Mr. His, in 18J3. of the Allegheny river from the snossth of French Creek to Ihe mouth "f the Kiskeniinotas. Two sites were seiccicu h. Iiim for dams in tho rivcr-ono of which is near Kittaning,nd the other one is threu miles below that town. From the loiver site, bo located a Canal on lho cast side of ll, n river about 13 miles, to form a junction wills lho siiain line, at the south-east end of tho largo aqueduct. The estimate lur erect' in. a dam in the Allegheny, ami construct ing a Cnnnl from tbenoo to thu nqueduot, ..... j-.n.-Ji3 81).

This plan is, nt least, plausible, and is recommended as being much cheaper thnn uny other project heretuforo suggested, fur accomplishing the desired object. The Canals of Pennsylvania will be unobstructed by ice, from nine to ten months of the year, and lho Ohio river is at nil times open during Canal navigation. In ordinary seasons, Slenni boats of 8 ) to 100 tons nrc not prevented by low wuter more than from three to four mnutl.s, from visiting Pittsburg. But, in very dry years, such ns was last summer, west of the mountains, there is about five mouths that such Steam boats cannot run on the upper part f the Ohio river. Last summer, a small Steam boat, rated nt 43 to 50 tons burden, plied daily, between Pittsburg nnd Deliver, except about six weeks at the lowest stage of water, nnd she always look in tow, n keel or tlurhnui boat currying from 10 to SO tons ii f loading. Hence, it is believed Dy well informed persons, thnt $80,000, exoeu- led in erecting brush wing dams in the Ohio, and clearing out bars nt the ripples, svotild secure an uninterrupted navigation for Ca nal boats, nnd no uther improvement is ne cessary, 11 is ulso worthy ol remurlc, that lho bout ohannel through almost nil the ripples butivi-en Pilt-hnrg nnd Uenver, is near the north shore of the river, and hc;;cc, Ihe formation of a towing path along the river bank has been proposed asn menus of enabling those who are engiigcd in Canal transportation, to use their own burses, instead uf subjecting tbeut to the necessity of employing a steam bout to tow them up the river. 31, A Canal from Pillshnrg to leaver. Notwithstanding tho cheapness unit nppu- rent feasibility uf the project for improving the channel uf the river and using Steam boats; or constructing a horse path, along the river bunk for towing Canal boats yut lho plan nf uniting the Denver and western livi.ious hy mi independent Canal, is, in lliu opinion of the Canal Commissioners, de cidedly preferable. The great interests in volved us thu iissprovemeuts ulready made, and in the contemplated extension of the Pennsylvania Canal to Lake Erie, and a cross-cut Cunal to unite Ihusu of Ohio nnd Pennsylvania, will, within a short period, require this link in the iiurth.westerii chain of communication to be oouioleled. Punctuality is said to he the life uf bu siness; but, to he punctual to engagements, requires certainly in thu means hy which those engagements nre to he fullilted. There-tore, in a contest for tho rich trado of the west, and north-svest, wo should, if pn.sible, avoid all risks or slelay, and consequently broken voyages, that may arise from either llouds or low svnter, by having continuous Cunal., from thu Allegheny mountain to Lake Lne, nuil I lie Ulno river below its principal obstruction'. Ami hence, the extension nf the svi'stern division of the Canal to Big Denver will become necessary. On the 101 Is nf January, 1827, nn ant wa passed by the Legislature uf the Statu Ohio, entitled "un net to incorpornte the Pennsylvania mid Ohio Canal Company," which net was approved and ratified hy the Legislature of Penust, lvauia, hy un act pas sed nn tho I Ills slay ul April, IS.'7. The second section uf the iiuovu net an Ihorizes the corporation to "cnittruot, anil forever niaiulaiii, n navigable Cassal, and aommencing nt such suitahlu poissls on the Portage Summit nf the Ohio Canal, us the Ohio Cannl Comuiisionsrs shnll direct, thence In tho waters uf Ihe Mahoning river, asnl theucu to meet sir isiter.ect the I'euu- y!vaniaor Chesapeake and Olsio Canal nt or near the city nf Pittsburg, in the Statu of ennsylvamai wills liherly, in cnin tliut ci ther of the ill Caiisls shall be continued from Pittsburg down Ihe Ohio riviT, mid up the talley of Dig Heaver, towards Lake trie, then to intersect s illier of sasil Cniials, constructed us aforesaid, at the most sella ble ami convenient point." And the fj.jtli section of said net providing "(hut il the corporation hereby created shall not, within ten years from thu tiuin nf the taking effect f this act, construct, liuish ami pil in ope ration the Cnnnl hereby contemplated, Ito, then Iho said corporation shall henceforth forever cease, and their charter be forfeit' ed." It will be readily admitted by tho advo- cnlesof interim! improvement, tlir.t a union sl'tlio Ohio nnd renneylvnnia (Jnnals, as contemnhiled in tho net, incorporannir Company, In make the Cro cut Canal, will bo highly b'tielicnil to until atate. Hut hv tho terms of the act, their charter will lie forfeited in ten years from the i ito its rntil citimi. by the Legitl iluro ol Pennsylvania, unless they "construct, limsli ami put into operation, tho Canal lioruuy contemplated;" that us reeitei) in tho act, to a point "at or near Hie City of Pills- burj." And hence, tl tney wi-n to sive their charter, Ihey must carry ihpijr Canal to Pilteburir, and occupy me very grounu that iii nccoiwiry, cnnnecluiff our own Wostern and llenvor ttivnuuiu oi uio t mil. Tho corporation aw, however, at "liberty," to intersect the Pennsylvania Canal, I lho most miiiaDloanu convenient ponu, if it - sl in 11 l continued Iroui rillsliuro-, down the Ohio river, and up Uio viiili-y ol llirr I leaver, towards Lako Krio." I'oisn-avlvnuia. has constructed a Cinnl "up the valley of llig Heaver, towards lako Krie;" ami it rcquirns her l continue the western division, "from Pittsburg, down tho Ohio river" to U g Uenver, lo ctnuio uio corporation to prucoed with their improvement, h r.dna,inir ibeiu from lho ohliiration to extend their Canal to Pittsburj, which is about 50 mile from "tlio must suitable and convenient point" ol connecting n wtin lho Qiuver division. 1 ho act nt lho ijegisiaturo oii-uuu-yi-vania, rntilyinff the lav of Ohio, which inoorpornteii tlio Penu-ylvania nnd Ohio dual Company, provides: " 1 lint ll shall not bo lawlul lor sua uusnpiny io com-nienea Iho said Canal ill Pennsylvania, un'il after tho Uoard of Pennsylvania Canal n.oooii3siuiiers. shall ll ivo lixcd tho point lor llio eastern termination lliureol; anil tlie Kind lloird am hereby autlioriZTl, on nppli nt ion made lor that purpnso by tun sain Company, lo determine and lix ihe point ol s. ...... urn ion of said Canil.as y bo deem ed most advantageous to the public.

And hence, lho Canal Cumniiosigiiorj be t.nuj iii. i ii. i ornvisioii ill the act ot 1 enn vlvama. is uu jatory. for if the Commis sioners fix tlio point of termination at ony place short nf a point "at or near tho City of Pittsburg," then the act of Ohio, cannot "take effect and be in force,'' as it expressly makes tlio construction of a Canal "from Pittsburg, down the Ohio river;" a condition which we apprehend tho Legislature of Pennsylvania had no power to niter, ol-tliourjl) they had a right to refuso their as sent, or to make annther termination of the Pennsylvania anil Ohio Canal a condition nf that assent, which condition must bo ratified by tlie Legislature of Ohio, before the Cunal from "Pittsburg down the Ohio," can he dispensed with. In 1837. Doctor Wlnpnn, mndij a survey and estimate for a Canal from Pittsburg, by tho Ohio, Dig Reaver and Shenaugo, to liilto r,rio, at Ihe harbor of Presquo Isle, in which he makes tho distance from the termination of Ihe Western division of the Pennsylvania Cnnnl, in Alletrhenytnwn, In the mouth of Dig Denver 25 miles and t!08 perches, and lie estimates Us post ut con struction at $3u3,K2l 23. A cross cut Canal from Akron on the Ohio Canal, along Iho valley of tho Ma- Honing to the Pennsylvania Cnnal, would in tho opinion of thn Cnnal Commissioners, as already slated, be highly beneficial to not Ii stales. It would open n direct, sale, cheap and expeditious channel for the citizens of Ohio, to send their agricultural product ioijs to a market on the sen board, and enable them in return to receive merchandize from the east. It would open nu exiensivo outlet for the salt, iron, nimble, etc. of Pennsylvania, and greatly increase ihe trade and manufactures uf Philadelphia ond Pillsburg. It would, by t lie additional commerce thrown upon tho Pennsyl vania and Ohio Canals, give activity lo trade, employment to capital, and business to merchants, trailers and boatmen, and consequently, il would stimulate and pro. mote the great primary interest ot agriculture. And it would contribute largely to swell the streams nf revenue flowing into the coll'-rs of Ihe Coinmnnweallh, from Canal tolls, Auction duties, Hank dividends, Shop keepers' licenses, fee. In a report made by the Cnnal Commis sioners of Ohio, to their Legislature, on Ihe Ttli of Juiiuaiy, 1S33, they rnumrk, thai through the northern part of the Ohio Cannl, the proposed Pennsylvania and Ohio Cnnal, and the Pennsylvania Canal, a di rect iniorcnurso between the great Likes of the Northwest on thu one linml, nnd tho Delaware and Chesapeake Hays, and At lantic Ocen'u nu the other, will b carried hi to an immense extent. And they add, ''should the Peiiusvlvania n ml Ohio Cnnal lia completed, ivo shill sao an active commerce carried on between thn City of Pitts-bn r, nn the one hand, anil the country bordering nn the Ohio river, below the mouth of Scioto, on tho other, .through that dual, and the Ohio C uial, during those sensuis, when 111') water in the upper p'rl uf the Ohio river, is loo low for Steam bunt navigation.' I hnse enlightened views nl the Ohio Cannl Commissioners, taken six years ago, have our cordial approbation. Iho extensive trnde carried on, on Hie Ohio Canal since it was finished, and the near ciuiplntioii of the main lino of the Pennsylvania improvements, has uingiiilicd the importance nf the proposed criws cut Cannl, and rendered it an ubj.'ct of peculiar con-erjuonco at present. !Sle mill tho western division bn extended to Dig Uenver, and the U.'avor division bo continued to tho Ohio line, every ton ol mmds passing through ihe cross cut Cnnnl bound to or from Philadelphia, except what wnuhl pa's through the Union and ncliuyl kill Canal. would b-carried four hundred and lilly fair miles on our Stato iiupruvo- ninnts, anil pay Irom S'e'U to gt.s,:ii toll into tho rstntsi 1 reiu-ury. Hence a com pnnv starling two boats from each cud ol the line daily, cuch oni carrying only 2 tons, would pay $1,0110 of loll per day, or from $3110,000 to $-,")!l,000 during the season ol navigation every year. There are eight daily lines of itmlt, regularly employed nntlri Now YurltCinal, butweeu Albany and HtiiValo. It is, thereforu, thought that tho above is a moderate estimate lisr the increaso of trade, that will be created by the construction of the cross cut Canal. In Insl Septouilior, while tho Uoard were examining the public works in the western nartol tho ntnie, twool the main.. hers went up the vulley of the .Mahoning, and nloug or near to the proposed rout for lho cross cut, to Akrnn, on the portage summit of tho Ohio Cannl. And it is, in their opinion, the most favorable ground along tho whole rout for constructing a C inn I that they have ever seen, with nn ample supply nf u-nier thnt can conveniently bo brought to the summit level. A survey was made by Helmed Dodge, IC-q. in 1937, of so much of lho runt of ihis proposed Canal, as is within lho limits ot Ihe Statu of Ohio. From which we learn ill it From Akron, on Iho Portagosmn-mit of lho Ohio Cnnal. to tho .V. P. Pennsylvania line, is 75 2U2 .1. P.

M.j.. i.rt Ari ii iiniiKP missioned as to the advantages the Stale would derive from tho extension of the Pennsylvania Canal to its original contem plated termination and connection with lake Krie, at thn Hay of Presque Isle. The Hoard reply, that they believe thai trie State would derive many advantages from such an extension of theCanil. The amount of commerce on tl,2 Lakes is beenmini immense, and is from year to year increasing with a rapidity that is truly astonishing. A few facts will illustrate its Condition and importance. In 183S, about 4-50O tons was tho aggregate burden uf all lho vessels ot every description navigating the Lakes. Hut their aguregalo burden at this time amounts to 15,G'.)0 tqus, including mnro than 20 steam boats, many of which are of tho largest class, and all nf which have constant nnd profitable employment. In 1920, the amount ol merchandize sent westward! from Itutl'slo wns 7lo0 Ions, but the estiinnted amount for the present seasotj is 12.001) tons. I he trade of the Lakes hns doubled within the last Hvo years, and it will con tinue to increase in a compound ratio, as lho western wilds round iho Boeping horns of the inland seas of North America become settled, cleared anil cultivnteil. It has been estimated that about 00,000 emigrants have passed from Buffalo up the Lakes dur.ng the past season; nnd this tide nf hardy, enterprising citizens, will continue to flow on until tho preamt outlets nf, the Lakes through the New York and Wel- lnnd Connlscnn no longer vent their surplus products, or return their supplies of merchandize. From tho ranidity with which the "Rrent West'1 is settling, this trade, large as it is at present, must increase ten-lold in a short period. But even a moiety ol its present amount secured lo Pennsylvania, and her eomniorcial cities, would, we conceive, justify the Legislature in extending the Cnnnl to Iho Day ol Prerqttn l-le. If the Cannl iv.is made, the proximity of Pittsburgh to brio would secure her an advantage over all domestic competition in vending her numerous manufactures. And Philadelphia cuuld at all limes compete successfully with the city of New York, in bidding lor thn trade ol the upper Leslies. There are, however, slill stronger induce, menls to mnking an exertion to secure this trade. It is well known tint Ihe accumulation of ice at the Inner end nf Lake Erio in the spring, blocks up Uuflaloe harbor until thn active business season of the year is fur advanced; and Hint the want ol sea room near the ower ami of the lane, ren ders navigation extremely dangerous during the prevalence uf the f ill win.ls; while the unrivalled hirbor of Kris' is easy of accesa at almost all li nes during the season of navigation. And hence lho Pennsylvania Canal ivould enjoy a monopoly of Hie Lake trade fur two months in lho year, and that too at tha tunes ut us greatest activity, in tho month of September last, while Ihe Canal ( 'oininissioners were on their western tour, one of the members nassed along the contemplated rout lor a Canal from N 'sv Castle to Conneeut lake, (mother member of the Hoard had previously pissou nvice over the rout. From Aleadville tho Bjard went by the SValerfurd rout to Erie, to view the Cnnal Hisin constructing at that nlnce at the exnense of the Hlato, and they returned to Cuuneaut lake by the lllk creek rout. The country along ench of the roll's Drcsen's Ihe usual facilities for con slructing a Cnnal; ond some of it, pjriicu-larly olusig the Shonango, between New Custle and Coaiicaut lake, is highly favorable.In 18 27, survey and estiinito were made by Pr. Whippo, lor a Cnnal from Pittsburg by the Beaver ond Shenango to Connoaul hik", from which we obtain tho following result From lho present termination of the improvement on tho Beaver division, at the head of slack water nude hy the Shennngo dam to Conneaut lake, is CI miles and SO perches, with 248 leet of lockago, and is estimated to cost $'J93,70(i 71. In ltV.7. a survi-y and estimate lvero mule by Major D. B. Doujla-s, for a Canal from the present termination of tho French crock feeder, nt the south end of Conneaut I ska. by ihe Elk creek rout, lo the lluy ol Presque Ule, at the town of Lno. Hy u Inch it appears tUit the longih of tho Canal ivould bo 47 mites anu nu percues. sun ins lockure is 5071 feet. He estimated the cost ol the improvement at 3 13,320 li'l. In 1827, a survey and estimate were aisomoue hv Dr. Whiooo. for a Conal from the com mencement of lho Fronch creek feeder at lleinui' mill, obnve Meadville, by Hie Wa- mrfnrd rout tu Eria harbor, which shows .Miles ferch.

And consequently the cost of constructing suiUblo resorvotrs, should be added to tho estimated cost ot the Csnal. With respect lo the several estimates in this report, the Board have to rnmnr k. that ihosa made by Dr. Whippo, contemplated lucks to bo built entirely of wood, which wera estimated at $150 per foot lift. This sum is entirely too low for such locks as the Board believe ought to be constructed.

I urn yours, ri-siicotfully, J.WlEd CLARKE, President of the Canal Commissioners. To W. Pattkhsov. Esq., Speaker of the House of Representatives; In oheilience to four resolutions which wcro passed hy the House of Representatives, 011 Iho Otis, 10th, anil 11th of December, instant, "requesting tho Cannl Commissioners to report to the lloii.e, their opinion ns to the ailviiiitaoa the Slate would ilerivo from tho extension of the Pennsylvania Cum ill to its urigiiinl contemplated termination, nini connection with Lako Erie, lit the buy of I'resqne Isle." Anil "ami as tu the advantages this State wnnlil ilerive from a connection of the Penns) Iviiniu, anil Ohio Casials, by a cross-cut from Akron, on lho Ohio Cunal, along the valley of the Mahoning, to the Pennsylvania Canal." Ami also, "of the advantages to be derived Jsy this State, nnd the expediency of adopting speedy measures to connect the Pennsylvania Canal, at or near Pittd.nrj;, with the Slate improvements on the Denver division) together with their views of the impor. Juut bearing which this connection holds, in reference to a junction, (under exisliiiir provisions,) with the Ohio Canal, nuil with the extension of the Pennsylvania Canal, An the town of Erie." Anil likewise, "of the expediency anil necesity of constructing n navigable feeder for the Penn.ylvania Canal, from tho Allegheny river, above the mouth of the Kiskimiiiettis." Thu Canal Commissioners respectful! submit the fol lowing Itepnrt. A Jfaeigabll Feeder from the Allegheny river, to intersect the Penn.ylvania Canal at the north-west end of the iitpicduct near the mouth nf the Kiskemiiietas, would he 11 valuable improvement for the following reasons : 1st, Tho Cannl has now to be fed with wnter from thu Leaehhtirg ilum, in the his kiiuiuetas, (which dam is 23 feet liiuli, above Jnw water umrk,) to Pittsburg; being about 36 miles in ilistauoe, including tlio two brunches into the Allegheny nnd JJouiin rnhala rivers. In tho mouths of August anil September last, the Ki.kciiiineliis rivi r become so low thnt, for a few wueks, a full head of wiler could not be maintained in the Canal. What has happened may ngaiu take place during a .very dry season; and that,, ton, at a time when an immense in crease of Irailo will rs'quiren corresponding increaso of lockune-wiiter. t feeder from the Allegheny river, would lint only release tlie riiiKcuiinetiis irom sup-jllying 3s mil1- of Cannl below tbejunc-,lioii, but in ease of much leakage through 4he high dam at Leachburg, it would assist ,the navigation on thu same level, for 1-' miles above the junction, deuce, for this . reason alone, such n feeder is very desirable.. 3d, Such a feeder would be n guarantee against any very serious interruption of the trade on the main line, in the event nl the failure of tho great aqueduct over the Allegheny river, at the mouth of the Kisko-(ninetus. But, without the feeder, n breach of that aqueduct would render the 73 miles cf Canal below Ulnirsville, wholly useless for the great Western Colssssserce. 3d, The feeder would he from 13 to 1C miles long, depending upon thu site chosen for a dans ill the Allegheny river, and in either ease would, with the pool uf lho dam, give un artificial navigation of about 3D dies. This improvement would nccouisno- ilnte some valuable Salt Work", nnd unite Kittuiiing, tho county town of. Armstrong county, and the surrounding country, moru elosely with the Pennsylvania Canal j nnd it would ulso be n link in thu chain of fu ture improvements for connecting tho main line of Cuual Willi tlio freiicu vreea usyis. ion. 4th, Should the Canal be continued from .the preseut teriqiuuliou of the Western sis- visioss, in Alleglsenytown, to oi cct wills ,tlse Ueuver division, this feeder will bo indispensable. A survc was inadu by .Mr. His, in 18J3. of the Allegheny river from the snossth of French Creek to Ihe mouth "f the Kiskeniinotas. Two sites were seiccicu h. Iiim for dams in tho rivcr-ono of which is near Kittaning,nd the other one is threu miles below that town. From the loiver site, bo located a Canal on lho cast side of ll, n river about 13 miles, to form a junction wills lho siiain line, at the south-east end of tho largo aqueduct. The estimate lur erect' in. a dam in the Allegheny, ami construct ing a Cnnnl from tbenoo to thu nqueduot, ..... j-.n.-Ji3 81).

This nlin of unitini the two parts uf the Canal is believed, l.y the Canal Uuinmissiniiert, in uo m .f. ... ,r n.,t inadmissible. Bsouusu the cull' .

This plan is, nt least, plausible, and is recommended as being much cheaper thnn uny other project heretuforo suggested, fur accomplishing the desired object. The Canals of Pennsylvania will be unobstructed by ice, from nine to ten months of the year, and lho Ohio river is at nil times open during Canal navigation. In ordinary seasons, Slenni boats of 8 ) to 100 tons nrc not prevented by low wuter more than from three to four mnutl.s, from visiting Pittsburg. But, in very dry years, such ns was last summer, west of the mountains, there is about five mouths that such Steam boats cannot run on the upper part f the Ohio river. Last summer, a small Steam boat, rated nt 43 to 50 tons burden, plied daily, between Pittsburg nnd Deliver, except about six weeks at the lowest stage of water, nnd she always look in tow, n keel or tlurhnui boat currying from 10 to SO tons ii f loading. Hence, it is believed Dy well informed persons, thnt $80,000, exoeu- led in erecting brush wing dams in the Ohio, and clearing out bars nt the ripples, svotild secure an uninterrupted navigation for Ca nal boats, nnd no uther improvement is ne cessary, 11 is ulso worthy ol remurlc, that lho bout ohannel through almost nil the ripples butivi-en Pilt-hnrg nnd Uenver, is near the north shore of the river, and hc;;cc, Ihe formation of a towing path along the river bank has been proposed asn menus of enabling those who are engiigcd in Canal transportation, to use their own burses, instead uf subjecting tbeut to the necessity of employing a steam bout to tow them up the river. 31, A Canal from Pillshnrg to leaver. Notwithstanding tho cheapness unit nppu- rent feasibility uf the project for improving the channel uf the river and using Steam boats; or constructing a horse path, along the river bunk for towing Canal boats yut lho plan nf uniting the Denver and western livi.ious hy mi independent Canal, is, in lliu opinion of the Canal Commissioners, de cidedly preferable. The great interests in volved us thu iissprovemeuts ulready made, and in the contemplated extension of the Pennsylvania Canal to Lake Erie, and a cross-cut Cunal to unite Ihusu of Ohio nnd Pennsylvania, will, within a short period, require this link in the iiurth.westerii chain of communication to be oouioleled. Punctuality is said to he the life uf bu siness; but, to he punctual to engagements, requires certainly in thu means hy which those engagements nre to he fullilted. There-tore, in a contest for tho rich trado of the west, and north-svest, wo should, if pn.sible, avoid all risks or slelay, and consequently broken voyages, that may arise from either llouds or low svnter, by having continuous Cunal., from thu Allegheny mountain to Lake Lne, nuil I lie Ulno river below its principal obstruction'. Ami hence, the extension nf the svi'stern division of the Canal to Big Denver will become necessary. On the 101 Is nf January, 1827, nn ant wa passed by the Legislature uf the Statu Ohio, entitled "un net to incorpornte the Pennsylvania mid Ohio Canal Company," which net was approved and ratified hy the Legislature of Penust, lvauia, hy un act pas sed nn tho I Ills slay ul April, IS.'7. The second section uf the iiuovu net an Ihorizes the corporation to "cnittruot, anil forever niaiulaiii, n navigable Cassal, and aommencing nt such suitahlu poissls on the Portage Summit nf the Ohio Canal, us the Ohio Cannl Comuiisionsrs shnll direct, thence In tho waters uf Ihe Mahoning river, asnl theucu to meet sir isiter.ect the I'euu- y!vaniaor Chesapeake and Olsio Canal nt or near the city nf Pittsburg, in the Statu of ennsylvamai wills liherly, in cnin tliut ci ther of the ill Caiisls shall be continued from Pittsburg down Ihe Ohio riviT, mid up the talley of Dig Heaver, towards Lake trie, then to intersect s illier of sasil Cniials, constructed us aforesaid, at the most sella ble ami convenient point." And the fj.jtli section of said net providing "(hut il the corporation hereby created shall not, within ten years from thu tiuin nf the taking effect f this act, construct, liuish ami pil in ope ration the Cnnnl hereby contemplated, Ito, then Iho said corporation shall henceforth forever cease, and their charter be forfeit' ed." It will be readily admitted by tho advo- cnlesof interim! improvement, tlir.t a union sl'tlio Ohio nnd renneylvnnia (Jnnals, as contemnhiled in tho net, incorporannir Company, In make the Cro cut Canal, will bo highly b'tielicnil to until atate.

In 1837. Doctor Wlnpnn, mndij a survey and estimate for a Canal from Pittsburg, by tho Ohio, Dig Reaver and Shenaugo, to liilto r,rio, at Ihe harbor of Presquo Isle, in which he makes tho distance from the termination of Ihe Western division of the Pennsylvania Cnnnl, in Alletrhenytnwn, In the mouth of Dig Denver 25 miles and t!08 perches, and lie estimates Us post ut con struction at $3u3,K2l 23. A cross cut Canal from Akron on the Ohio Canal, along Iho valley of tho Ma- Honing to the Pennsylvania Cnnal, would in tho opinion of thn Cnnal Commissioners, as already slated, be highly beneficial to not Ii stales. It would open n direct, sale, cheap and expeditious channel for the citizens of Ohio, to send their agricultural product ioijs to a market on the sen board, and enable them in return to receive merchandize from the east. It would open nu exiensivo outlet for the salt, iron, nimble, etc. of Pennsylvania, and greatly increase ihe trade and manufactures uf Philadelphia ond Pillsburg. It would, by t lie additional commerce thrown upon tho Pennsyl vania and Ohio Canals, give activity lo trade, employment to capital, and business to merchants, trailers and boatmen, and consequently, il would stimulate and pro. mote the great primary interest ot agriculture. And it would contribute largely to swell the streams nf revenue flowing into the coll'-rs of Ihe Coinmnnweallh, from Canal tolls, Auction duties, Hank dividends, Shop keepers' licenses, fee. In a report made by the Cnnal Commis sioners of Ohio, to their Legislature, on Ihe Ttli of Juiiuaiy, 1S33, they rnumrk, thai through the northern part of the Ohio Cannl, the proposed Pennsylvania and Ohio Cnnal, and the Pennsylvania Canal, a di rect iniorcnurso between the great Likes of the Northwest on thu one linml, nnd tho Delaware and Chesapeake Hays, and At lantic Ocen'u nu the other, will b carried hi to an immense extent. And they add, ''should the Peiiusvlvania n ml Ohio Cnnal lia completed, ivo shill sao an active commerce carried on between thn City of Pitts-bn r, nn the one hand, anil the country bordering nn the Ohio river, below the mouth of Scioto, on tho other, .through that dual, and the Ohio C uial, during those sensuis, when 111') water in the upper p'rl uf the Ohio river, is loo low for Steam bunt navigation.' I hnse enlightened views nl the Ohio Cannl Commissioners, taken six years ago, have our cordial approbation. Iho extensive trnde carried on, on Hie Ohio Canal since it was finished, and the near ciuiplntioii of the main lino of the Pennsylvania improvements, has uingiiilicd the importance nf the proposed criws cut Cannl, and rendered it an ubj.'ct of peculiar con-erjuonco at present. !Sle mill tho western division bn extended to Dig Uenver, and the U.'avor division bo continued to tho Ohio line, every ton ol mmds passing through ihe cross cut Cnnnl bound to or from Philadelphia, except what wnuhl pa's through the Union and ncliuyl kill Canal. would b-carried four hundred and lilly fair miles on our Stato iiupruvo- ninnts, anil pay Irom S'e'U to gt.s,:ii toll into tho rstntsi 1 reiu-ury. Hence a com pnnv starling two boats from each cud ol the line daily, cuch oni carrying only 2 tons, would pay $1,0110 of loll per day, or from $3110,000 to $-,")!l,000 during the season ol navigation every year. There are eight daily lines of itmlt, regularly employed nntlri Now YurltCinal, butweeu Albany and HtiiValo. It is, thereforu, thought that tho above is a moderate estimate lisr the increaso of trade, that will be created by the construction of the cross cut Canal. In Insl Septouilior, while tho Uoard were examining the public works in the western nartol tho ntnie, twool the main.. hers went up the vulley of the .Mahoning, and nloug or near to the proposed rout for lho cross cut, to Akrnn, on the portage summit of tho Ohio Cannl. And it is, in their opinion, the most favorable ground along tho whole rout for constructing a C inn I that they have ever seen, with nn ample supply nf u-nier thnt can conveniently bo brought to the summit level. A survey was made by Helmed Dodge, IC-q. in 1937, of so much of lho runt of ihis proposed Canal, as is within lho limits ot Ihe Statu of Ohio.

M.j.. i.rt Ari ii iiniiKP missioned as to the advantages the Stale would derive from tho extension of the Pennsylvania Canal to its original contem plated termination and connection with lake Krie, at thn Hay of Presque Isle. The Hoard reply, that they believe thai trie State would derive many advantages from such an extension of theCanil. The amount of commerce on tl,2 Lakes is beenmini immense, and is from year to year increasing with a rapidity that is truly astonishing. A few facts will illustrate its Condition and importance. In 183S, about 4-50O tons was tho aggregate burden uf all lho vessels ot every description navigating the Lakes. Hut their aguregalo burden at this time amounts to 15,G'.)0 tqus, including mnro than 20 steam boats, many of which are of tho largest class, and all nf which have constant nnd profitable employment. In 1920, the amount ol merchandize sent westward! from Itutl'slo wns 7lo0 Ions, but the estiinnted amount for the present seasotj is 12.001) tons. I he trade of the Lakes hns doubled within the last Hvo years, and it will con tinue to increase in a compound ratio, as lho western wilds round iho Boeping horns of the inland seas of North America become settled, cleared anil cultivnteil. It has been estimated that about 00,000 emigrants have passed from Buffalo up the Lakes dur.ng the past season; nnd this tide nf hardy, enterprising citizens, will continue to flow on until tho preamt outlets nf, the Lakes through the New York and Wel- lnnd Connlscnn no longer vent their surplus products, or return their supplies of merchandize. From tho ranidity with which the "Rrent West'1 is settling, this trade, large as it is at present, must increase ten-lold in a short period. But even a moiety ol its present amount secured lo Pennsylvania, and her eomniorcial cities, would, we conceive, justify the Legislature in extending the Cnnnl to Iho Day ol Prerqttn l-le. If the Cannl iv.is made, the proximity of Pittsburgh to brio would secure her an advantage over all domestic competition in vending her numerous manufactures. And Philadelphia cuuld at all limes compete successfully with the city of New York, in bidding lor thn trade ol the upper Leslies. There are, however, slill stronger induce, menls to mnking an exertion to secure this trade. It is well known tint Ihe accumulation of ice at the Inner end nf Lake Erio in the spring, blocks up Uuflaloe harbor until thn active business season of the year is fur advanced; and Hint the want ol sea room near the ower ami of the lane, ren ders navigation extremely dangerous during the prevalence uf the f ill win.ls; while the unrivalled hirbor of Kris' is easy of accesa at almost all li nes during the season of navigation. And hence lho Pennsylvania Canal ivould enjoy a monopoly of Hie Lake trade fur two months in lho year, and that too at tha tunes ut us greatest activity, in tho month of September last, while Ihe Canal ( 'oininissioners were on their western tour, one of the members nassed along the contemplated rout lor a Canal from N 'sv Castle to Conneeut lake, (mother member of the Hoard had previously pissou nvice over the rout. From Aleadville tho Bjard went by the SValerfurd rout to Erie, to view the Cnnal Hisin constructing at that nlnce at the exnense of the Hlato, and they returned to Cuuneaut lake by the lllk creek rout. The country along ench of the roll's Drcsen's Ihe usual facilities for con slructing a Cnnal; ond some of it, pjriicu-larly olusig the Shonango, between New Custle and Coaiicaut lake, is highly favorable.In 18 27, survey and estiinito were made by Pr. Whippo, lor a Cnnal from Pittsburg by the Beaver ond Shenango to Connoaul hik", from which we obtain tho following result From lho present termination of the improvement on tho Beaver division, at the head of slack water nude hy the Shennngo dam to Conneaut lake, is CI miles and SO perches, with 248 leet of lockago, and is estimated to cost $'J93,70(i 71. In ltV.7. a survi-y and estimate lvero mule by Major D. B. Doujla-s, for a Canal from the present termination of tho French crock feeder, nt the south end of Conneaut I ska. by ihe Elk creek rout, lo the lluy ol Presque Ule, at the town of Lno. Hy u Inch it appears tUit the longih of tho Canal ivould bo 47 mites anu nu percues. sun ins lockure is 5071 feet. He estimated the cost ol the improvement at 3 13,320 li'l.

And consequently the cost of constructing suiUblo resorvotrs, should be added to tho estimated cost ot the Csnal. With respect lo the several estimates in this report, the Board have to rnmnr k. that ihosa made by Dr. Whippo, contemplated lucks to bo built entirely of wood, which wera estimated at $150 per foot lift. This sum is entirely too low for such locks as the Board believe ought to be constructed. Il has also been provau uy experience, that the ociual cost ot cog .trnciiiisi tho Diiblic wotks of Pennsylvania have invoriab.y mucli exceeueu uio esu.. mates which were made ot mu cuuiaicuuu .....ni of our improvement system.
